The Refrigerator Compartment is the ideal storage
location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved
food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and
vegetables sensitive to cold as well as tropical fruit.
When Purchasing Food, Please Note:
The freshness at point of purchase is important for
the shelf-life of your food.
In principle, the fresher the produce when placed
in the “cool-fresh” compartment, the longer it stays
fresh.
Therefore, when buying food, always pay attention
to the degree of freshness.
Observe the expiration date specified by
the manufacturer for ready products and bottled
products.
Arranging Food in the Appliance
■ Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance.
This will retain the aroma, color and freshness of
the food. In addition, flavors will not be transferred
between foods and the plastic parts will not become
discolored.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
■ Do not block air outlet openings with food in
the refrigerator compartment, otherwise the air
circulation will be impaired.
Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet
openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.
■ Avoid contact of oil and fat with the plastic parts
and door seal.
Super Cooling
Super cooling cools the Refrigerator Compartment as
cold as possible for approx. 6 hours. Then
the appliance automatically switches to the temperature

Warranty
The limited warranty from BSH Home Appliances in this
limited product guarantee applies only to the Bosch
appliance (the “Product”) which you, as first purchaser
have bought, if the product: (1) was purchased for
normal (not commercial) use in the household and was
always and exclusively used for normal household
purposes; (2) was purchased as a new appliance
in a shop (not as an exhibit, “as is” or as a return) and
not for resale or for commercial use; and (3) was
purchased in the United States or Canada and has
never left the country in which it was originally
purchased. The warranties listed here apply only
to the first purchaser of the product and are not
transferable.
Remember to return your registration card; although it
is not required for services within the scope of
the warranty, it provides Bosch with the best means of
contacting you in the unlikely event of a safety warning
or a product recall.
Period of validity of the warranty: Bosch guarantees
that the product is free of material and production faults
for a period of 365 days from the date of purchase.
This period starts on the day of purchase and will not
be postponed, suspended, extended or replaced for
any reason. Repair/replacement as exclusive remedy:
During this warranty period Bosch or one of its
authorized customer service providers will repair your
product free of charge (subject to certain restrictions
listed here) if it turns out that your product has
a material or production fault. If an appropriate number
of attempts have been made to repair your product,
Bosch will replace your product (later models may be
made available to you for an additional fee at the sole
discretion of Bosch). All removed parts and
components are the property of Bosch at its sole
discretion. For the purpose of this warranty all replaced
and/or repaired parts will receive the identity of
the original parts, and this warranty will not be extended
with regard to these parts.
Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility, based on this
warranty, consists of repairing the factory-defective
product involving a customer service provider
authorized by Bosch during normal business hours. For
reasons of safety and with regard to damage, Bosch
strongly recommends that you do not attempt to repair
the product yourself or have it repaired by a nonauthorized customer service; Bosch is not liable for
repairs or work performed by a non-authorized
customer service. If you decide to have the product
repaired by somebody other than an authorized
customer service, THIS WARRANTY WILL BE
AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED. Authorized customer
service providers are those persons or companies
which have been specially trained on Bosch products
and which, in the opinion of Bosch, have an excellent
reputation concerning their customer service and their
technical skills (note: these are independent persons/
companies, there are no agents, partners, subsidiary
companies or representatives of Bosch).
Irrespective of this, Bosch accepts no liability or
responsibility for the product if it is in a remote location
